Civilization V - (Saints Web multiplayer game)

[Matthew Le God]

Anyone interested in having some Saints Web Civilization V multiplayer games? Ideally with the Brave New World update.

Yes, I would be, even though it's something of a pain in the arse to play multiplayer. Civ is all about restarting until you have a decent opener. I have Brave New World.

When are you free to play? Any preference for game/map type?

 

Anyone else interested?

Generally evenings or weekends. Gamertag on Steam is ElevenHitCombo.

pap and I had a good game last night. We had random Civs, I was the Dutch, he was the Persians and we are currently in 1868 AD.

I haven't played this game for a while and due to the sprog probably can't comit to be on line ant any particular time for an on-line game, however...

 

Does anybody have any tips for negotiating with AI CIVs? When negotiating (say) a technology agreement at my instigation, I find that they will refuse any deal which doesn't result in my paying them a huge some of gold to sweeten the deal, whilst when they instigate they will refuse to offer me a penny.

 

Sorry for the (minor) hijack.

The new Civ is too slow

True, though I need my money to stretch to either potentially moving house, or

 

A new bathroom, Merc CLA AMG and a laptop

 

Im gonna go for the latter, the wife prob not

 

Its been 8 years since I got out of the IT game and TBH I havnt kept up with technology etc any recommendations of a cheapish option ? Basically only want it to play games for the next 3-5 years and it doesnt need to be groundbreaking i.e civ n FM as I am getting PS4 soon

I got my machine from chillblast, who are based in Bournemouth. You probs won't be too surprised to learn that I don't spend much on anything save geeky stuff. ms pap has a lovely attitude when it comes to computers. She reckons racing drivers wouldn't be caught dead driving a crappy car, and that computer programmers should have capable machines.

 

My machine cost around 1700UKP with VAT. I reckon you could spend £600-£800 and get something really capable.

I could, I just dont want to, I get why you would though and back in the day me too probably, right now though Im ready to sink the best part of 500 quid on a PS4 and some games etc maybe a new TV too

 

I just wanna spend a max of 500 on a machine capable of driving basic games such as Civs n FM for the next few years to muck around on whilst the wifes watching Eastenders etc

I'll be getting PS4 anyway, but the way I've come to see PC purchases ( for entertainment purposes anyway ) is that it's very much a loss leader. Initial costs are big, but the cost of doing business after that is much cheaper. Those Steam Sales are awesome.
